- Tech stack: C#, .NET WinForm, MAVLink, Mission Planner, Multi-threading, MaterialSkin

## Overview

The professional control software I built for KAPGAN and other UAVs, handling communication between the UAV and the ground computer. I wrote it in C# / .NET Framework to run every combat-UAV mission from a single application.

## Mission Planner Integration & Architecture

By including Mission Planner's source and libraries, I established direct, latency-free communication with flight controllers over MAVLink. A multi-threaded, layered architecture gave low latency and easy extensibility; MaterialSkin provided a modern, user-friendly UI.

## Testing & Usability

Real-time logging made fault diagnosis easy; IP/port/baud-rate settings were gathered in a single window. I also added a module that emulates the competition server for end-to-end testing before going to the field.

## Outputs & Results

This software was the backbone of KAPGAN's "Most Original Software" award at Teknofest 2021, making a competition mission manageable from one place — latency-free and reliably.
